Description
The US-UK Fulbright Commission’s Postgraduate Awards support graduate study and research in the United States. The All Disciplines Award covers any subject at any accredited US university, including master’s and doctoral programmes and independent research. Partner awards support particular disciplines or institutions, including journalism, film, public policy, and food science and human nutrition.
The programme combines academic work with cultural exchange, encouraging participants to learn about the USA, share British culture, and contribute to mutual understanding. Selection considers academic proposals alongside ambassadorial skills, intercultural sensitivity, community involvement, and leadership potential. Awardees receive pre-departure support, cultural visits, support from the Institute of International Education (IIE), and access to a global alumni network.
